Product Description
Philip feels very much alone as he struggles to make a viable living for his family from the "Bad Lands" of his Norfolk farm. He is dogged by suspicion and misunderstanding as he clings to his socialist ideals, still hopeful throughout the period of the Phoney War that conflict might be averted.
About the Author
Henry Williamson was born in December 1895 and died in August 1977. The last great visionary of his generation, he was both loved and misunderstood and his writing by turns famous and neglected. His huge literary output fell into several groups. Apart from his well-loved animal narratives he wrote direct accounts of his own life in rural Norfolk and Devon, numerous short stories and two semi-autobiographical groups of novels - The Flax Dream and A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight, of which the last volume, The Gale of the World appeared in 1969. His last book, The Scandaroon, the tale of a pigeon, was published in 1972.
